How to submit a receipt

There are two ways you can submit receipt images for purchases you made:

1. Forward receipt image or order confirmation via email
2. Upload photo of receipt image or order confirmation from the Timeline

If you have a longer receipt and need to submit more than one receipt image then it is easier to use Option 1 (forward receipt image or order confirmation via email).

Option 1: Forward receipt image or order confirmation via email

1. Make sure you have submitted a Purchase activity by pressing 'Add Activity', and then following the instructions. 

2. Look for an email from Shopalong that will contain the special e-mail address to which you will forward image(s) of your receipt. It will look something like this: ######@shopalong.com. You will receive a separate email address for each purchase you report. NOTE: If you do not receive the email address via email you can also find it by going to the Timeline view from the Dashboard and you will see the email address next to the Purchased activity you created.

3. Use your phone's camera to take pictures of the receipt. You can submit more than one image if it is a longer receipt. Be sure to take a picture of the ENTIRE RECEIPT(you can take more than one image if necessary). It must have the following information visible:

• Name of retailer/store
• Date and time of purchase (date must be on our after assignment start)
• Items purchased related to your assignment including any discounts
• Receipt total

4. Circle the items on your receipt that are related to the assignment

5. If you have an online receipt or order confirmation you can take a screenshot and forward that to the special email address or you can just submit the entire order confirmation via email to the special address. 

IMPORTANT: BE SURE TO SUBMIT THE RECEIPT IMAGE FROM THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU HAVE REGISTERED WITH SHOPALONG.
